Hi Everybody,
My name is Marie, and I may be the ideal tutor for you!
I recently graduated from Columbia University with a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology (I majored in general psychology as an undergraduate student at Vassar College), and I am currently working as a tutor for the Academic Advantage. As part of my work for the Academic Advantage, I tutor students in Math (pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, and general Math), and also in Language Arts (including English, reading, vocabulary and writing).
Besides tutoring, I also have a lot of work experience as a substitute teacher and teaching assistant in various classrooms. I have experience with students of all ages, including extensive experience with individuals who have special needs.
In general, I favor a "hands-on" approach to teaching that involves a lot of interaction between the tutor and student, and concrete experiences in addition to worksheets. However, my specific methods vary according to the subject being taught and the learning style of the student.
I look forward to hearing from you!
